Breakup Songs

[joshy hizzle]

I just went through a pretty nasty breakup after a two year relationship and I was wondering, can somebody recommend some songs to help me through this?

[MADSTA]

Blink 182 - What Went Wrong

[Logan95]

Goldfinger-Fuck You and Your Cat

[8:17am]

Bright Eyes-Lovers Turn Into Monsters

[dodge_3001]

Homegrown - Kings of Pop

[ForeverInADay]

Ceremony - Clouds of Fire

[invincibleXL]

Butch Walker - The Best Thing You Never Had


ULTIMATE break-up song.

[doomcrs04]

Just put on TAYF.

[yoyoninjagirl]

Just put on TAYF.
agreed

[Bingham88]

Blink 182 - What Went Wrong

damn you beat me to it

[JimmeHendricks]

blink - stay together for the kids (count it)

[kearn1tm]

If you're bitter about it: Parkway Drive -- "Romance is Dead"

[enter return]

Damien Rice - The Animals Were Gone

[kissbangkill]

anything by owen. especially off of "i do perceive"

[m_rue]

Alkaline Trio - Radio

[boykosaurus]

depending on how you're trying to get through it, Damien Rice's work helps a lot

[Shatter590]

starting line: gregs last day, a goodnights sleep, hello houston
the ataris- summer wind was always our song, road signs and rock songs, losing streak, last song i will ever write about a girl, between you and me, hell- all of End Is Forever and most of Blue Skies.
ben folds five- song for the dumped

[thebestkylever]

ace if base- don't turn around

[Anderson]

If you're bitter about it: Parkway Drive -- "Romance is Dead"Good call. No-one mentioned Good Riddance(time of your life) yet?

[emerypearl]

Butch Walker - The Best Thing You Never Had


ULTIMATE break-up song.
Butch Walker fan :thumbup:

[anamericangod]

Butch Walker - The Best Thing You Never Had


ULTIMATE break-up song.

so many memories to that song. fucking amazing.

Just put on TAYF.

this works also, but i think the most poignant part of the album is at the very end, with the lines "don't call my name out your window; i'm leaving." you can't tell me that wouldn't make any girl feel some kind of regret, even though there's nothing she can fix.


Butch Walker fan :thumbup:

Butch > Everything else

[pshh]

the starting line - break up day

[caityconundrum]

as tall as lions - kickin myself
kinda.

[alcoholandirony]

brand new - mixtape

oldie, but goodie

[ForeverInADay]

Good call. No-one mentioned Good Riddance(time of your life) yet?

good god i fucking hate that song.

[notoaststereo]

ben fold five - song for the dumped.

[Anderson]

An oldie for you.

iN45OjB-cCU

[emerypearl]

Butch > Everything else

exactly

[motioncity182]

Alkaline Trio - Radio

you beat me to it. love that song.

[Brianfarg]

Ceremony - Clouds of Fire

Word to that. "Staying Alive" by Cursive.

[thetrueblood]

i'd recommend watching "The Wedding Singer" Adam Sandler's break up song is the best thing ever.

also, listen to bright eyes and the cure.

really it depends on your situation though and how you're feeling. content? bitter? nostalgic? there's a whole range of emotions that come along with breakups and in turn a whole range of songs discussing them.

[angelusdomini]

The Used - Buried Myself Alive


bahahahahaha

[supadupa003]

starting line: gregs last day, a goodnights sleep, hello houston
the ataris- summer wind was always our song, road signs and rock songs, losing streak, last song i will ever write about a girl, between you and me, hell- all of End Is Forever and most of Blue Skies.
ben folds five- song for the dumped


greg's last day has nothing to do with a breakup.

[dejaxentendu]

the break up song - american hi fi

and i think there is happy break up song by NOFX my personal favorite lyrics from that are "by the way bitch you can kiss my ass eat shit die you dirty fucking slut fuck off you stupid fucking cunt i hope you choke and die on toxic shock" but thats just me

[thetrueblood]

uKNKVzVAqUk

[halifaxrocks]

bright eyes - if winter ends

because i just can't think anymore about that or about her tonight
i give myself three days to feel better
or i swear i'll drive right off a fucking cliff
because if i can't make myself feel better
then how can i expect anyone else to give a shit

it helped me when my fiance broke it off
BITCH!!!

[thursday727]

Glassjaw - Lovebites and Razorlines
Rancid - Fall Back Down

[Shatter590]

greg's last day has nothing to do with a breakup.

not in the strict sense, but it works well. its about losing that special something in your life.

[bluecrunchy]

J_rUipBibf4

[anamericangod]

J_rUipBibf4

[lesto17]

Alkaline Trio - Jaked on Green Beers
Jawbreaker - Sluttering (May 4th)

[Brianfarg]

J_rUipBibf4

I love that song. I didn't know they had a video.

[justinzuccon]

Moneen - Start Angry... End Mad

[FullCollapse299]

The entire Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence album by glassJAw.

[Vismund_Cygnus]

Comfortable - John Mayer

[Vismund_Cygnus]

The entire Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence album by glassJAw.

You know, when I'm upset about a girl, I do listen to this record. Good choice.

[lake of tears]

i dont love you-mcr

[feigningapology]

I'm thinking:

glassjaw's - eyewtkas (lyrically masochistic or masogynist...or metaphorical if you believe it)
Misery Signals - Of Malice and the Magnum Heart album (most of the album but specifically Five Years dealing with cheating)
Thrice - Kill Me Quickly (I'm pretty sure it was written by Dustin dealing with difficult times with his girlfriend at the time...though the ending is rather hopeful)
Thrice - To Awake And Avenge The Dead (rather broad personal interpretation is that it's about moving on from a public end to a relationship "500 channels focus in"...the death of your past and an old self)
Thursday - This Side Of Brightness (it made sense to me when I had just broken up with a girl, but under different circumstances it might not be a break up song)
Thursday - I Am No Killer (just a state of confusion.. "I wake up every morning From the same dream And then I kill it But you can't change the letters when the ink dries" sounds exactly like me how I'd have nightmares, play things over in my head again and again...but you can't change the fact it's over "when the ink dries" so to speak).
Days Away - Easier Said Than Done
Days Away - Fight
maybe Serial Kisser by Over It
Better Off Dead by NFG
Second To Last by NFG
Vegas by NFG
So Many Ways by NFG
My Friends Over You by NFG
Forget My Name by NFG
Brainwashed by Don't Look Down
Trying by Don't Look Down
Better Off by Don't Look Down
Wake Me by Don't Look Down
Undone by Don't Look Down ("I need you out of my head I need you out of sight")
Trust Is a Word by Don't Look Down
Nothing Frequency by Autopilot Off (maybe???)
Wide Awake by Autopilot Off ("I'm breaking promises and breaking you apart while this constant battle rages in my mind over which path to take")

Rocks Tonic Juice Magic by Saves The Day "You and I are like when fire and the ocean floor collide"

[fueledbyiz]

Just put on TAYF.
'cures' just about anything <3.

[Judge'sDaughter]

This Time Imperfect- AFI
basically a song for whenever you're feeling shitty, not just for breakups. I listen to it a lot.

[paledeadpoet420]

Hate (I Really Don't Like You) -Plain White T's

[kearn1tm]

I'm thinking:

glassjaw's - eyewtkas (lyrically masochistic)

Masochists enjoy pain, self-mutilation, emotional or phyiscal hurt inflicted upon themselves, gluttons for punishment. etc.

That doesn't fit EYEWTKAS, as Palumbo is, essentially, annoyed at the heartache that was inflicted upon him, as opposed to enjoying it.

[mcslove]

Dashboard Confessional:

Screaming Infidelities
The Best Deceptions
The Brilliant Dance


good choices. i'd say screaming infidelities, as well.

[Indie Bracelet]

Aww.. old Dashboard CDs should be in every "break-up repair kit" in the world.

[feigningapology]

Goldfinger - Counting The Days
Goldfinger - Here In Your Bedroom ("you have changed, cause I still feel the same")
Anberlin - Day Late Friend (maybe...)
a few Ataris songs I'm spacing on right now
Fall Out Boy - Tell That Mic ("when i said i loved you, i swear to god i lied")
finch - without you here
Like Lions - Good Sign (maybe)
The Movielife - I Hope You Die Soon
The Movielife - Hey
Madison NJ - Right Outside (demo)
Masochists enjoy pain, self-mutilation, emotional or phyiscal hurt inflicted upon themselves, gluttons for punishment. etc.

That doesn't fit EYEWTKAS, as Palumbo is, essentially, annoyed at the heartache that was inflicted upon him, as opposed to enjoying it.

You're right, I just put down Masochistic and Misogynistic because I wasn't really sure which it was...the "suck on the end of this dick that cums lead" and many repetitions of "whore" seemed like it had to be one or the other.

[hunterstone]

when your gone by avril

[hunterstone]

[Shatter590]

The following are all FOB songs

"Sending Postcards from a plane"
"Chicago is so 2 years ago"
"The Patron saint of Liars and Fakes"

my fave FOB song ;p

[yannicinco]

(the symphony of) blase, by anberlin

[scotty v]

Glassjaw My Dude

[teletubby]

Alkaline Trio:Stupid Kid;Fine Without You
Relient k:Which To Bury,Us or the Hatchet
Blink-182:Dont Leave Me
Kate Nash:Foundations
Placebo:Song To say Goodbye
Betty Curse:God This Hurts

and this has absolutely nothing to do with break-ups but it always cheers me up:
The Doors:Roadhouse Blues

[xkait212x]

depending on how you're trying to get through it, Damien Rice's work helps a lot

Yes! Agreed! damien rice's rootless tree is helpful! That was on my break-up list.

Saves the Day- Anywhere With You

Also maybe even that one song that goes "hate is a strong word but i really really really dont like you".. by Plain White T's. I know, completely different from Damien Rice, but it's catchy and gets the message out there.

Breakups are no fun. Good luck w/ everything. Don't worry, each day will get a little easier. :biggrin:

[namembal]

If you're bitter about it: Parkway Drive -- "Romance is Dead"
FTW!

Grinspoon - Better Off Alone.

[nick reed]

most of the time by bob dylan

[lilaussiepunkr]

taking back sunday - new american classic or this photograph is proof (that i know you) or your own disaster

[grabyourguns]

it's not your fault-nfg
ever so sweet-TEN

[fromoc2dc]

I'd recommend throwing on:
The Format - Dog Problems
Jack's Mannequin - Everything in Transit

[zomgitstiffany]

When You're Gone - Avril Lavigne
Everything I'm Not - The Veronicas
I Hate Everything About You - Three Days Grace

[chemicalife]

paramore- for a pessimist, i'm pretty optimistic
boys like girls- up against the wall
my chemical romance- this is how i disappear
mayday parade- when i get home you're so dead

just went through a breakup myself so stuff like this is all i've been listening to

[feigningapology]

Has anyone said Sunday Drive by the Early November yet? It's a decent song to listen to on repeat after a break up.

And we wait above a road.
We're turning to go home.
And the silence from the side of the car,
Tells me everything and how we are.
Cause there's no more trying to make this so right.
There's no more trying tonight.

And you know it's not so easy when you're all alone,
And I wonder if, I'm alone in your head.

I know something is wrong,
I just don't know what to do.
You say it's only me, and, that I'm so perfect for you.
I don't want to try no more,
I don't want to make this right.
I just want you to be true to me one time.

And you know it's not so easy when you're all alone,
And I wonder if I'm alone in your head.

Twelve days gone by, since I have saw you last,
I'll give this one more try,
I'll give it all my best, and, I'll ask
What could you be doing that is so much fun?
Without me by your side,
Without me by your side.
And, I will take a step back, and, I'll let you ahead,
And, I will take a step away, and, see if you come back,
Because there's no more trying to make this so right,
Theres no more trying,
Theres no more trying tonight.

We'll never be the same,
We will never be the same,
We will never be the same,
We will never be the same,
Until you're done.
